Passengers hospitalised during stay on the TUI Marella Dream Cruise

British holidaymakers have recently commented on the website Cruise Critic after a December 2017 cruise on board the Marella Dream Cruise Ship was reportedly plagued by illness.

One recent passenger commented:

âDespite no information from the staff it became clear very quickly that the ship was carrying a serious bug and had been for several weeks before we boarded.

âPassengers were very ill, some hospitalised at various ports, many on drips in their cabins.

We departed the ship on Friday 5th Jan whereby the ship was getting a full sanitisation in Tenerife but they were still allowing passages to travel on it, which in my opinion was wrong given the level of the illness and serious nature of the bug.â

Another holidaymaker claimed that âone person was airlifted to hospitalâ and others âon dripsâ.

Comments from our legal expert

âWe are highly concerned to hear of reports of sickness on board the Marella Dream Cruise Ship.

âPassengers who have suffered symptoms of illness caused by poor food or failings in hygiene standards on board a cruise ship may be entitled to make a claim against their cruise operator.

âHere at YourHolidayClaims, our specialist legal team is available to speak to anyone affected by sickness during a cruise holiday and quickly advise on whether they could be entitled to compensation for the ruined holiday.â
